Götze is having an absolute shocker so far - miscontrolling the ball more than once, passing poorly, and now conceding a free kick in a dangerous place. I can't believe Khedira has to watch this **** from the bench - is he injured or something?
Sadly i think diving has become part of a players skill now(notice how best footballers better at it)?......and u can bet its a skill that is also sadly encouraged by their managers!
Götze off - no surprise there. Schürrle will bring more urgency and energy (if not much more quality).
A great nil nil!....Algeria obv gonna get punished by missed chances..just hope by a fair n square goal!
Yep, that last one was shocking. He just rushed it, clear lack of composure. You've got to put it beyond the defender from there. The one before where he ignored the man to the left unmarked and tried to pass to a well-marked striker who didn't even see it coming was bad too.
Does anyone else find Thomas Muller really dislikable? Every time I see his face it's like he's just too stereotypical cocky German footballer. And he doesn't seem to wear shinpads, which reminds me of James Harper.
Yeah, he comes across like that I agree. That chance he just had could have been Bergkamp-esque, but he snatched at it.
You'd think so, but I'm sure some pros get away with it. At the moment his left sock is almost fully pulled down and you can't see a pad under there. And I'm sure Harper didn't when he played for us.
Neuer is bloody good at sweeping up behind his defence. How many times has he saved them by doing that? He's like an extra defender. The attackers always seem a bit scared of him though. Every time it looks 50:50 the attacker gives up and he carries on, slides in and clears it. If the attacker went in for it as well he might get hurt but he'd have a chance of nicking it or at least forcing Neuer into a foul.
